It's been a tough season as far as points go for the long-time Bruin. He has just three goals and seven points in 23 games thus far. It'll turn around eventually, and perhaps today's the start. Dec 3 - 8:01 PM

Patrice Bergeron will indeed play Saturday against the Sabres.

He didn't practice on Friday, which sometimes means a player isn't healthy enough to play, but that doesn't appear to be the case for Bergeron. So get him in your lineup. Dec 3 - 12:14 PM

Patrice Bergeron has gone six straight games without picking up a point.

He has recorded just two goals and two assists in 14 contests this season. "You're trying to help the team as much as possible, and the offense is part of my game. And yeah, of course you want to contribute more," said Bergeron. "But at the same time, I'm trying to still play my game and do all the details right and the rest will be there. It will come." Bergeron is typically a consistent point producer, so the length of this cold streak is unusual for him. Nov 18 - 7:24 AM

Patrice Bergeron has gone six straight games without picking up a point.

He has recorded just two goals and two assists in 14 contests this season. "You're trying to help the team as much as possible, and the offense is part of my game. And yeah, of course you want to contribute more," said Bergeron. "But at the same time, I'm trying to still play my game and do all the details right and the rest will be there. It will come." Bergeron is typically a consistent point producer, so the length of this cold streak is unusual for him.

Patrice Bergeron had a game-high five shots on goal in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild.

It looked like this game was heading for overtime, but Wild forward Mikael Granlund scored with 45 seconds in regulation to give Minnesota the win. Bergeron was on the ice when the game-winning goal was scored. He finished the game with a minus-1 rating and a blocked shot in 18:24 of ice time.

Bergeron helped set up goals by Brandon Carlo (first period) and David Pastrnak (second period). Both of of them were primary assists. Bergeron finished the game with a plus-2 rating, five shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in 23:37 of ice time. He has three points in seven games this season. Jimmy Hayes scored the game-winning goal in the 10th round of the shootout.

Patrice Bergeron does not believe his undisclosed injury will turn into a chronic condition.

"I don't think so," said Bergeron after he was able to play on Tuesday. "Hopefully it's going to be gone soon and I felt all right on the ice. It's one of those things where, you know, I guess we all go through the same thing and it's about battling through it." He added that the ailment was not related to the one that sidelined him earlier this season.

Patrice Bergeron scored the game-winning goal in his return to the lineup Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils.

He scored from the high slot with only 1:15 left in regulation. Bergeron registered two shots, two penalty minutes and a plus-2 rating in 16:49 of ice time. He missed the first three games with a lower-body injury.

Bergeron missed Boston's first three games due to the ailment. Look for him to play on the top line with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. David Backes, who was playing on the first line, will shift to David Krejci's unit instead.

Patrice Bergeron (lower body) is "on track" to play against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night barring any setbacks.

He was back at practice Wednesday between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. Bergeron has missed the first three games of the season with a lower-body injury. He felt good after the session and will see how he feels Thursday morning.

However, coach Claude Julien believes that Bergeron is close to returning to action because he has been making progress during his skates. The Bruins top player has already missed two games and Monday's match will be the third.

Patrice Bergeron did not travel to Toronto for Saturday night's game nor will he be with the team for Monday's contest against Winnipeg.

Bergeron is still dealing with a lower-body injury and will obviously miss Monday's game against the Jets. The Bruins still list the versatile center as day-to-day, so at this point you should only be looking for a short term replacement.

David Krejci registered a pair of assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Florida.

He had a helper on Tim Schaller's icebreaker in the first period and he set up David Pastrnak's game winner in the extra session. After a sluggish start to the season, Krejci has produced three goals and nine assists in the last 13 contests.

Trading Spooner would make some sense as it seems that Boston's depth, particularly at the center position, has hurt his value to the Bruins. It also recently seemed that he was in coach Claude Julien's doghouse and Spooner has spent some time on the fourth line. That being said he had 49 points last season and at the age of 24 still has some untapped upside. A change of scenery might be in all parties' best interest. The Carolina Hurricanes, San Jose Sharks, and New York Islanders have shown interest in Spooner, according to CSN New England's source.

Austin Czarnik notched a goal and an assist in Boston's 5-2 win over Columbus on Thursday night.

The Blue Jackets scored the opening goal of the game just 2:29 into the first period, but then the Bruins answered back with four straight markers before the start of the second frame. Both of Czarnik's points came during that outburst to give him a total of four in 10 games this year.

Tim Schaller has played the last two games at left wing alongside David Krejci and David Backes.

Ryan Spooner, who has been skating on the fourth line, saw some shifts on Boston's second line. "We've been looking for somebody that's going to give us a little bit of consistency on the left side," coach Claude Julien said. "Spoons has been in and out. Beleskey's been in and out. Some nights those lines have no scoring chances. As a coach, you do what you've got to do and move guys around. I need more offense out of that line."

Beleskey was injured in Saturday's game against the Sabres and he didn't play in tonight's game against Florida. Expect him to return in mid-January. The Bruins forward has two goals and three assists in 24 games this season.

He had the lone assist on Dominic Moore's seventh goal of the season in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals. The 21-year-old forward was playing in his third game with the Bruins this month.

"Any time a guy joins a team for practice, even with the red jersey ... it's good to see, a step in the right direction for Frank," coach Claude Julien said. "That's the best way for him right now to get up to the pace of your game, because it's going to take a while." He could be available later this month if his recovery goes well.

"He's playing with a lot of confidence," coach Claude Julien said. "He's skating, and not only that, he's taking pucks to the net." Pastrnak has become a game changer for the Bruins this season, with 18 goals in just 23 games. He also chipped in six assists along with a plus-17 rating.

Torey Krug has extended his point streak to three games with a goal in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over Carolina.

Krug is now up to two goals and 11 points in 24 games this season. Now through the first 265 games of his career, the talented blue liner has 32 goals and 136 points and a shooting percentage of 4.5%. I mention the latter because his newest goal brings his percentage up to 2.7% for the season. He should regress to the mean, but they may be few and far between.

Zdeno Chara logged 23:31 of ice time in his first game back from a lower-body ailment.

He was credited with three hits, two blocks and a minus-1 rating. "I felt pretty good for the first game back," Chara said. "It was a good game to come back. Obviously, Florida is a very good skating team, and it is always challenging to play them. But I had no issues, and it felt good to be back, and obviously it was a big win." He was reunited with rookie defender Brandon Carlo in Boston's 4-3 OT win over Florida.

His power-play marker in the third period tied the game at 3-3 after the Capitals jumped out to a 3-0 lead. Boston entered Wednesday's action in 27th place on the man advantage and now the team has moved up to the 26th spot.

Rask has been fantastic this season, but this was far from his best outing of the year. The Capitals led 3-0 in the second period, but the Bruins got three unanswered goals from Dominic Moore, David Pastrnak and Colin Miller to tie the game. In overtime, it was Nicklas Backstrom that gave the Caps the win. Rask now has a 14-4-2 record with a 1.79 goals-against-average and a .933 save percentage.

Anton Khudobin allowed four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Khudobin has only played in five games this year, but his numbers haven't been pretty. It's the third time he's given up four goals in a game. He has a 1-4-0 record with a 3.02 goals-against-average and a .888 save percentage.
